By no means was it the worst game he has had; a good ball to Langley (who I'd just said to my mate seconds earlier had not made a break in 3 years) & went through a gap before realising he has no pace & was a bit lost for ideas. His kicking was poor by his standards & he was trampled all over in the seond half.
The big bonus was Jeffries, who was absolutely outstanding in attack. The pace he took the line on was devastating. In a weekend where no-one really stood out as player of the tournament, I would give it to BJ. Big rap also to Sykes, who had the best game I've seen him have in a Bulls shirt.
I'd agree about Myler, looks an outstanding prospect. I think there might be a bit of competition for his services, unfortunatley for Bradford. Saints would be my bet. (One of the rumours I heard was Pryce is out due to his external activities, with Eastmond taking over (will never happen in m book)).

I would like to see Myler at Bradford but I'd probably go with Saints aswell. Wouldn't mind Pryce back if he was released but would have to watch him carefully off-pitch

Option? Menzies gives us a possible inside track.

We need to be looking at someone mid twenties who we can build round for a few seasons imo.

Suspect the playing field may be a little bit more level now though, thanks to the worthy gentlemen of HMRC? But also suspect the likes of Wire will still manage to rustle up image rights deals from unconnected third parties to blow others away though. Sorry, I meant the player's agent will be able to...

So would I.
How long is he tied into a deal at Salford?
We could ask Robbie to have a word in his ear!

I'd still have Orford though.

I would have him, but it wouldn't be a long term solution. Not sure about Myler but if he does end up going I doubt it will be to us.

If Myler arrived you might as well just tell young Liam Kay sorry son we don't think your good enough.
